The National Archives are asking for volunteers to transcribe thousands of pages of declassified CIA documents. The endeavour is part of Sunshine Week, which is an open-government initiative started by a group of newspaper editors to educate people about the importance of government transparency and the dangers of excessive state secrecy.
You can browse some of the raw documents here.
[Editor's Note: The dates on most of the CIA documents are 25 years old or older, so perhaps are of more interest to amateur historians than government transparency watchdogs.]

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Funny? You don't know the meaning of the word. This is obviously a flamebait post because the AC can only count up to 10.
What kind of AC do you think you are?
Get back to /.!
